I. Market Overview: Why is ODM demand for sweaters booming in the Women's Economy 2.0 era?
The global women's sweater market is expected to be worth approximately US$57.6 billion in 2024, with a projected CAGR of 5.8% from 2025 to 2030. Driven by "content + e-commerce": TikTok's #sweaterweather has been viewed over 42 billion times; Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) in China has over 7.6 million "sweater outfit" posts.

Changes in consumer behavior:
– From "one piece per season" to "one piece for multiple occasions"—detachable, transformable, and machine-washable.
– From "brand logos" to "emotional value"—color, material, and storytelling over price.

Brand pain points: High costs for in-house development teams, short window of popularity, and high inventory risks, which are forcing "ODM fashionable women's sweaters custom processing companies" to become standard.

II. Behind Google Searches: What pain points do buyers really want solved?

When overseas buyers search for "ODM fashionable women's sweaters custom processing companies," their real intent is:

Design—providing me with the next big thing, not generic goods.

MOQ (minimum order quantity)—ideally 100-200 pieces; they don't want to be tied down to 1,000 pieces. Speed: From idea to product launch within 30 days or less, the faster the better.
Compliance: GRS/OEKO-TEX/RWS/BSCI, no less than 100%.
Margin: Costs must be 30% or more lower than those of European pattern houses, while quality must be comparable to COS & Other Stories.
In short: We want a five-in-one solution: "fast, small, beautiful, green, and profitable." III. The Seven Key DNA Elements of a Popular Women's Sweater
